Most use sae30 nd oil
20wt Non-deterent Oil OR 30wt ND if it is in a heated garage all the time.
Be prepared for a fair amount of sludge when you change it out. This is NORMAL. With the amount the compressor would take you may want to change it out, run the compressor up to normal operating temps and then change it out again. Then depending on usage, change it out every year.

I quite like the Amsoil 20 weight compressor oil for my small compressors. Make it very easy for them to kick over in my unheated, uninsulated garage even when it's -20ºC. Been running it for 5+ years with an annual oil change.
